Finding Relief from Hip Pain

Our hips are fundamental to nearly every movement—from walking and bending to sitting and standing. So when hip pain strikes, it can dramatically reduce mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.

While osteoarthritis and injuries are well-known causes, hip pain may also stem from inflammatory conditions, overuse, or even referred pain from another area in the body. Fortunately, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, personalized approach to identifying the root cause and treating your hip pain.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

Hip pain can arise from a wide range of conditions:

• Inflammation in the hip joint or surrounding ligaments can cause swelling and discomfort.

• Bursitis, or inflammation of the fluid-filled sac near the joint, is a common culprit.

• Osteoarthritis—a degenerative disease that wears down cartilage—is a leading cause, especially in older adults.

• Inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, or ankylosing spondylitis may also trigger hip pain.

• Overuse injuries, such as strained tendons or muscles, can cause ongoing pain from repetitive activity.

• Trauma, including fractures or dislocations, can result in sudden and severe pain.

• Referred pain may be misleading; dysfunction in the lower back, sacroiliac joints, or even a hernia may present as hip pain.

• Sciatica, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, may radiate from the lower back through the hips and down the legs.
